We are certainly allowed to do so.

 

I would even go a step further and say it would be better for us to allocate a major portion of sacrifices where they are in greater need.

 

People in North America and the West are overfed; they suffer from various complications due to excessive meat consumption. Whereas the refugees and most individuals in the war torn countries and the developing world often suffer from malnutrition and protein deficiency as they cannot afford meat.

 

So, our priority should be to ensure that they are taken care.  You may entrust the money for sacrifice to the reputable relief agencies such as Islamic Relief or Human Concern International who specialize in this area – unless you can do it yourself or you have relatives or friends who can do it on your behalf.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
